Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Water To Wine arrives at Ascot unbeaten and with a significant reputation, having made a striking debut at Newbury — where he accounted for a rival who subsequently finished fifth in the Derby — before following up with an easy victory at Kempton, and connections regard him as a horse capable of operating at the very highest level. Ancient Egypt, more comfortable on quick ground than the soft he encountered in the Derby, and the progressive Causeway, who completed a four-timer in a Group 3 last month, represent the chief dangers, with Venetian Prince's Italian Derby form achieved on heavy ground leaving questions on this faster surface. Confidence is modest stepping into Group company, but the class edge looks clear. **Selection: Water To Wine**
